Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 US price won’t increase after tariffs, but accessories will cost more
S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 days agoI’m not from us but I’m holding off buying since the first tease. That little thingy that pop out from the switch and goes onside the controller looks worrisomely flimsy. It breaks and is no more docked mode anymore. Hell probably no more charging.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Are you talking about the Joycons? The ones from the switch 1 are less flimsy than they look Photo of the Joycons sitting on a table
These are not required for docked mode (if you have another controller, of course), not required for charging and you can buy new ones if you lose or break the ones that come with the console.

No no I mean in the console the black thingy that reminds a micro sd card. Is rarely shown in pics. That thing looks like it will break any day really 1000012036

Oh right. Yeah, having the console part be the “male” was a weird decision. It looks fragile

I’ve heard “it’s made of metal” but still I do not think it’s a good design. You have magetic clamps it should align enough for a contact surface thingy.

They’re talking about the controller connector on the console that protrudes out. Nintendo should’ve opted for spring loaded pogo pins instead.

MrWhoseTheBoss has a video on the S2 and says the connectors were sturdier than expected.
How much they hold up to the haphazardness of people whom don’t care about their tech and children is another matter to be seen.

At least for me, we had 2/4 joycons develop stick drift and we had to replace the sticks with magnetic ones. It was expensive, but worth it. But ill be honest, for the price, im not looking to get the Switch 2 this time around.
